Fill Doctor in Edmonton Alberta?



Recommended Posts

Dana, come here : Canada Local Lap-Band Support - Lap Band Talk Forum - The largest forum for Lap Band Surgery Discussion and Lap Band Surgery Support and ask that question. You'll have more luck with Canadians. I don't remember anyone mentioning any fill Dr's in Edmonton, but that doesn't mean there isn't. Someone will be able to answer you, and if nothing else, you have lots of choice in Calgary!

The last date on this thread is 2008. Is there any additional information on Fill Doctors in Edmonton. I called the Allen Clinic this AM and the Lap-Band® Dr there will only do his own surgical patients.

I was banded in Mexico so my options are more limited. I now go to Dr. Peggy Burke in Calgary who will do fills for anyone despite where/who banded them. I tried Dr. Jim in Grande Prairie but it became very complicated as he wanted me to have a GP in Grande Prairie in case something went wrong (despite the fact that he is in a hospital! Dr Burke is very pleasant, her hours are very accommodating and she charges $100.

hi the info I got from Slimband in Toronto is there is a clinic in Edmonton which is located at 10020 101A Avenue NW. I don't have a ph number but maybe the TO office could give it to you. I was told they do fills there for Slimband patients.

Would it be possible to get Dr Burke's contact info? I am being banded in Winnipeg later this month but live in Calgary?

Thank you!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
